Topic: Hyperevirulent C. difficile
We learned in class that some strains of C. difficile are hyprevirulent and MDR, making them superbugs.
Identify one of these strains and discuss its characterisitcs, including: What makes it hypervirulent? If it makes toxins, what kind of toxins are they and how do they act? What antibiotics is it resistant to? Avoid writing about the disease and its treatment.
This post is to be about the microbe, not the disease. Initial post must be at least 200 words. Include at least 2 references cited in APA format.
